| Thyroid Surgery |
| The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the front of the neck, just over the windpipe. |
 |
| Parathyroid Surgery |
| Located behind the thyroid gland are four tiny parathyroid glands. These glands, each the size of a grain of rice, make parathyroid hormone (PTH), which controls calcium levels in your blood. |
|
| Adrenal Surgery |
Adrenal surgery has been revolutionised
with the advent of PRA, or posterior
retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy. |
